A Question about Pride and Identity
People said I am weird.
And yes, maybe I am weird.
I was always be passionate when people asked about either my hobbies or favourite things. When I was in Junior High School, i was proud to show my real identity as a Role Playing Game addicted. In addition, my parents occupied me with those gaming stuffs (hey, I can say they implicitly supported what i want!). But, i noticed some people's bad impressions and glimpses about the existence of Playstation, and indeed, about the gamers themselves. I received countless -so called- humiliation from my girl friends, as if i was too odd for not liking to spend couple of time going shopping, as if i was too strange for not keeping myself update to all fashions and such..
At least, people should know,
that i am trying not to be either a hypocrite or an inner liar
And then it happens until now. Instead of watching an 'elegant' and 'high-class' hollywood movies, i preferred to watch some beautifully in-depth anime series, which some people judged that they are really for kids consumption, and not for adult. I realized that minority can do nothing to overcome these situations, or else to change those silly stereotypes. Anime-fans cynically are seen to be the anti-socialists, exaggerated introverts or freaky daylight daydreamers. Somehow i keenly tried to understand.
Probably, probably there's something wrong with myself
Or maybe, maybe, the wrongdoing is actually yours
And now, it comes to music. I exclamate that i am really into J-Rock. J-Rock, and not Jazz or Bossanova, which people are proudly promoted that they are divinely high class music. Even some said that J-Rock is trashy, and senseless. People can only humiliate, people can just judge. They will never understand. I always try to appreciate your taste and your everything, but why, even to acknowledge that mine is exist, i find the very unwilling of you.
Then i keep asking, am I wrong to be like I am?
Then i keep asking, if that's not so, why you are always scolding at me?
Always, and always, and always.

Ternyata kadang sesuatu yang tidak serius dianggap sangat serius oleh orang yang lagi bete.
L'arc n Ciel bagus kok. Jazz juga bagus. Tapi boleh dong gw nyela2 L'arc n Ciel karena gw pengen ada yang dicela karena kalo gw nyela jazz gw nggak bisa nyela elu.
Nyela itu adalah sebuah seni untuk mengungkapkan "kita kan teman, masak gitu aja marah". Tapi kalo emang ternyata elu ndak bisa dicela ya maap-maap aja.
You say hail Anime, I say hail Bollywood !!!
Piss neng.
It's good to be different. This world will not be fun if everyone's doing the same things, thingking the same ways. Hirarchy and status are systems people made, and actually they are indeed relative.
People thought Edison was stupid when he told his idea about lightbulb. People said Wright brothers were crazy when they had the idea to fly. So it's good to be different as long as it's good for you and it does not disturb people around you. More importantly is how to appreciate differences, to respect each others regardless their differences.
